It's the Maps, not Specialists, not anything else, Its the Maps!

On Renewal (easily my most hated map) I figured at least the dense crops would allow me to prone through them like a careful soldier...

But, I'm either sniper food or hover-farm material... Not that the buildings fare any better...

@FG44141They should make smaller maps and lower player count so they can focus on a better map design and better destruction.

Instead of going bigger (128 players doesn’t work, you’re getting shot from all different angles and no tactics what so ever) imagine what they could do with the power of the new consoles if they just kept things a little smaller (32 player rush/domination/tdm and 64 player conquest/breakthrough). The maps could be the most advanced and beautiful designs we had ever seen in a battlefield game.

Horrible descisions were made by those responsible at EA and DICE! Its truly a sad story this game…

Agreed, the maps are so devoid of character compared to older games that it's quite depressing.

I mainly play BF1, and maps like Amiens, Zeebrugge, St Quentin are so full of character and places you get to know it's a shame we haven't got that here.

It's like playing Doom or something!!

Yup, I believe that maps are the main issue as well. I guess there were wanting the massive chaotic battles on the huge maps instead we got vehicle warfare or runningfield not battlefield. The maps are too open or have too many entrance exit  points that it makes it just ridiculous to try to defend or even strategize around. I hate the fact that if yo udont get a vehicle at spawn your screwed out of at least 2 flags and are stuck running or waiting to call a vehicle in. Thats the dumbest thing ever. I hope we get a new smaller map pack and smaller number of player

The maps look straight out of Death Stranding.

I mean huge flats of nothing and then couple of boxes disguised as buildings for the objective, then again huge prairies of nothingness and then the next objective.

Maps are badly designed, bad style (that ultra modern super clean straight perfect sucks), even hourglass with all that sand has * perfect skyscrapers coming out from the sand and they should be abandoned...yet they are super clean...and there's nothing...just sand.

I'm just happy I still have the older Battlefields installed still, and MW2019 at least in ground war in couple of maps I have fun, and doesn't have idiotic characters with stupid lines like in BF2042.

Just played a match on Narvik on BFV. The whole complexity of that map is better than any in 2042. 

The fact that the buildings in town can have massive destruction is crazy compared with 2042. Narvik fighting through the town with wood splinters flying everywhere, buildings collapsing and rubble every where feels like war. 

I don't understand how they could not make a single good map in this game.

If we think 10 years into the future into a new BF title and there will be "Map remakes". Would anyone ever want a 2042 map remaked? I don't think so. They lack in unique selling points.

For every BF I ever played I can immedially call out a few maps that I would like to play again. Even for something like Hardline that I only played around 55 hours I could say: Give me Bank Job. Great map for the setting and fun to play.

I wish we had some city Maps that feel like you are really in a city and not outside of it or in the middle of some desert with some huge squared boxes ("skyscaper") blocking the way now and then...

Maps like Strike at Karkant, Seine Crossing or Grand Bazzar. I hope these make it into portal and we can get somewhat decent gameplay there...

All the maps were made for Battle Royale/Tarkov. Conquest was just an afterthought.
